Publisher's Summary
Raised and trained in seclusion at a secret fortress on the edge of the northern wilds of the Kingdom of Ashai, a young warrior called Rezkin is unexpectedly thrust into the outworld when a terrible battle destroys all that he knows. With no understanding of his life’s purpose and armed with masterful weapons mysteriously bestowed upon him by a dead king, Rezkin must travel across Ashai to find the one man who may hold the clues to his very existence.
Determined to adhere to his last orders, Rezkin extends his protection to an unlikely assortment of individuals he meets along the way, often leading to humorous and poignant incidents.
As if pursuing an elite warrior across a kingdom, figuring out who he is and why everyone he knows is dead, and attempting to find these so-called friends and protect them is not enough, strange things are happening in the kingdom. New dangers begin to arise that threaten not only Rezkin and his friends, but possibly everyone in Ashai.

Brilliant!
I couldn't stop listening, can't wait for the next instalment. The author does such a great job at creating a believable key character and why he would be so unaware of how the emotion of loss and sadness would feel. He is a contradiction played beautifully by the author.

Bloody Fantastic!!
Would you consider the audio edition of Free the Darkness to be better than the print version?
I am a busy man and I listen to books while I work rather than read anymore. I love reading but don't have time. Audible allows me to do both.(kind of) I admit that the narrator of a story makes a huge diffrence. Nick Podehl does this epic justice. Loving it!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Free the Darkness?
Every moment of this book is memorable!
What does Nick Podehl bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
He brings his own "flavor to the story" which I cannot fault. Props to Nick!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Every time I recall this book will be a moment that moves me.
Any additional comments?
Support this author! I want him to keep writing!!

great telling of the story
great telling and as character flaws go for the main character, it has been quite entertaining and refreshing on originality

A surprisingly excellent powerful main character
It's easy to write a story where the main character is ridiculously powerful and can defeat any challenge that he comes up against. It's much more difficult to make that story interesting. King's Dark Tidings is an excellent demonstration of how to write a story about all of the characters, not just about the main character.
If you like Dungeons and Dragons, imagine what would happen if you had a character that had every skill and maxed all of his levels. Then imagine what you could do with that character in that world. That's essentially what this book is. Rezkin is unbeatable, unstoppable and always five steps ahead, plus he's bloody good looking. He's the perfect character and yet, really he's a very likable anti hero.
Give it a chance, it's a book that will blow you away with it's excellent writing.

One of my favourites
This book and the following series has quickly become one of my favourite book series. The world building, character's and social interactions within the story is some of the best I have come across. This book had me leaving early when I needed to go somewhere just so I could sit in my car and listen to the story. The narration is perfectly on point with each character's voice unique and distinguishable. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a new story.
